Nicholson) Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2022 11:37:39 -0500 Subject: [Peace] "Remote Killing" -- new CGTN documentary on drone warfare, links & commentary on "National Bird" documentary Message-ID: <95b03b5c-ed06-5188-79af-baaba6a735e6@forestfield.org> A new killer drone documentary was released, this one called "Remote Killing" from CGTN, China Global Television Network. A former U.S. drone operator in Afghanistan admits to hating himself https://youtube.com/watch?v=-A8uXGU1ShE CGTN documentary 'Remote Killing' promo - Drone strikes equal to human tragedies https://youtube.com/watch?v=ztR7Bd-Yr3c CGTN documentary 'Remote Killing' released https://youtube.com/watch?v=A99tzzochvY The first is a clip from the documentary, the second is an ad featuring more clips from the documentary, and the third is the full documentary. I highly recommend the movie "National Bird" as well which covers the same topic. "National Bird" documentary (English) https://youtube.com/watch?v=cnc_pin3GhQ This documentary features Daniel Hale who was recently convicted and sentenced for the information he shared about the drone program. His segment begins around 7 minutes into this version of the documentary. This documentary also features a critique rebutting former Hawaiian Congressional representative Tulsi Gabbard's supportive position on drones but said two years before (perhaps a "prebuttal"?): Rep. Tulsi Gabbard from https://theintercept.com/2018/01/17/intercepted-podcast-white-mirror/ > So, with these terrorist cells, for example, yes, I do still believe that the > right approach to take is these quick strike forces, surgical strikes, in and out, > very quickly, no long-term deployment, no long-term occupation to be able to get > rid of the threat that exists and then get out and the very limited use of drones > in those situations where our military is not able to get in without creating an > unacceptable level of risk, and where you can make sure that you?re not causing, > you know, a large amount of civilian casualties. Heather Linebaugh served in the United States Air Force from 2009 until March 2012. Her bio in The Guardian says she worked in intelligence as an imagery analyst and geo-spatial analyst for the drone program during the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Two years before Rep. Gabbard said the above Heather Linebaugh said the following in "National Bird": > Hearing politicians speak about drones being precision weapons, being able to make > 'surgical strikes', to me it's completely ridiculous, completely ludicrous to even > make those statements. It's as flawed as it can be with those people operating it > from across the world. If they really think they can send a bomb through a window > of a compound and hit one militant then why are we seeing so many civilians die of > collateral damage? I'd like to ask those politicians have they not been notified > of that? Do they not know what's going on in their own war that they're > controlling? Linebaugh is also the author of: "I worked on the US drone program. The public should know what really goes on" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/29/drones-us-military "National Bird" documentary with German dubbing https://youtube.com/watch?v=-EsrRVb4weg National Bird Director and Producer Sonia Kennebeck https://youtube.com/watch?v=p92wPlchHKY National Bird | Panel | Berlinale 2016 https://youtube.com/watch?v=MkheUav0dq0 I recommend seeing or downloading these while you can. YouTube is highly censorious and has a track record of blocking access to videos and blocking accounts which post material that challenges Western establishment propaganda. YouTube does this even years after the videos are posted. I plan to include the "National Bird" and "Remote Killing" documentaries in the next batch of recommended videos for UPTV. If someone sees those videos I recommend actually play on UPTV, please post about that to peace-discuss. It would be good for me to know that these recommendations are being shown.

A Politico poll of Republican voters in the aftermath of the Mar-a-Lago raid gave Trump a 10-point boost over his closest possible primary rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump?s ensuing fundraising campaign has done even better, quickly topping $1 million on at least two days, a jump of at least 700%. > > Over the long run, it is difficult to form a conclusive judgment on Trump?s potential culpability in the absence of any confirmed detail about both the contents of the documents that Trump allegedly mishandled, and the evidence to support the Justice Department?s suspicions. But if the last six years of routine Trump standoffs with the national security state are any guide, the walls are nowhere closer to closing in. > > Whatever your views on Trump, it is undeniable that the permanent military-intelligence bureaucracy in Washington does not see him as one of their own, and has gone to extraordinary lengths to target him when it sees fit. It also undeniable that the national security state?s spats with Trump have distracted the public from vital issues that impact working people?s lives and the future of the planet. This includes, I have long argued, Trump?s most harmful policies as president, which were routinely overshadowed and even exacerbated by his standoffs with the ?deep state.? > > Accordingly, it is reasonable to expect that this latest ?scandal? over the potential mishandling of classified documents will continue the trend that has defined the Trump era: an intra-elite, symbiotic feud that simultaneous boosts Trump among his base, and the national security state among his foes. > > Pundits and politicians are resoundingly confident that the FBI must have the goods on Trump to have taken the unprecedented step of searching the former president?s home. This argument can only be made by ignoring that the FBI and other intelligence agencies took far more unprecedented and consequential actions against Trump when he was president, on grounds that were not only baseless, but fraudulent. > > The FBI investigated Trump as a suspected Russian conspirator and asset ? and not just once, but twice: first as a presidential candidate, and then months after he took office. To undertake this, they relied on the Hillary Clinton-funded Steele dossier?s conspiracy theories as source material; repeatedly lied to a FISA court; and, despite the full knowledge that they had come up empty, prolonged their investigation with media leaks and court filings that falsely suggested that a collusion ?smoking gun? was within reach. > > Russiagate apologists like to argue that the FBI?s use of the Steele dossier was an aberration that does not taint the whole enterprise. In fact, there are ample grounds to believe that Steele?s fabrications played an even greater role than the FBI has acknowledged ? including, as I have detailed, possibly triggering the Russia investigation to begin with.
